'MechAnimals' Is A Roguelite Beat ‘Em Up By Hollywood Animators, Coming To Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S And PC - Screens & Trailer

MechAnimals is a roguelite beat ‘em up where players take control of critter pilots and their mighty mechs to battle an evil megacorporation in a diesel-punk universe.

Previously known as Full Steam: Fluffy X Machina, MechAnimals is an upcoming Action Roguelite featuring cute tiny animal MECH PILOTS!

The once-adorable world of Full Steam is being taken over by the evil, greedy and environmentally unfriendly megacorporation Krok Inc. and its army of Diesel Powered, A.I Controlled Robots. How dystopian!

There's only one thing standing in their way: the renegades known as Team Steam with their Renewable Steam Energy Tech! Launching from their Mobile Train Base to meet hordes of Krock Bots head on, they liberate the world from the evil corporation one mission at a time. The battle between good and evil is on the balance and we need You to lead the charge!

Designed for both solo and multiplayer experiences, MechAnimals promises strategy-rich combat and a variety of playstyles. Progress through a series of procedurally generated Beat ‘Em Up missions, upgrade your mech collection, defeat the Seven Deadly Bosses, and liberate the world from the clutches of the nefarious Krok Inc.

BouncyBrain Studio is an indie development studio founded by feature animation veterans with credits on Kung Fu Panda, The Mario Movie and Minions. MechAnimals feels like it's based on a big-budget Hollywood animated movie but with an edgy tone that would never get approved by the big studios.


Interested fans can check out a playable MechAnimals demo on Steam.

A kickstarter campaign will be launched shortly.

Key Features:

  • Go Tiny or Go Mech: Players can seamlessly switch between fast critter combat and powerful mech attacks, providing a fresh take on the classic beat-em-up genre.
  • Solo Crusade or Co-op Action: Embark on solo missions, calling in NPC Teammates, or bring along up to three friends for multiplayer action.
  • Unlockable Mechs: Complete runs to unlock different types of mechs, each with its own unique playstyle and signature moves. Choose between Brawler, Long Range, Mobile Fortress, Ninja and more.
  • Infinite Replayability: With new upgrades, challenges, and weapons available in each playthrough, as well as randomly generated enemy upgrades and encounters, every run in MechAnimals offers a different experience.
  • PvP: Duke it out in a series of deadly Sparring Arenas with up to 4 players to see who reigns supreme.

MechAnimals is in development for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC (Steam).
